My latest project.....

[Joes1989]

Hey guys,

Heres my latest project.....ME dipper for an EC700BL, ive always wanted an ME boom set up for my EC700 but seeing as funds dont allow me to buy one of gaz's great creations i decided to buy some plastic and get building myself! It still needs a few odds n ends doing to it but its pretty much there now!




Cheers

Joe

Looking good
Do i get a prize for guessing that the bucket is a Joal JCB 330 item??
I want to turn my Joal jcb 330 into my old Hitachi ZX350 machine.But i would need a 1/35th Hitachi cab.Apart from the cab,& the exhaust pipe being on the left/cab side(the ZX 350 exhaust is on the right/off side)they are pretty much the same looking.

Yeh.....thats the bucket off the old JS330! haha ive made a 1/50th Zaxis350LC-3! Made it out of a Caterpillar 336DL its on the model section somewhere mate!

EDIT

Link to my dash 3 Zaxis 350!
Custom Zaxis 350LC-3

Found it before you added the link.It looking good.If i had some money i would maybe buy a cat & do the same as you.Afterall,i have spray cans of Hitachi orange,& at the moment,a 5ltr pot of Fiat Hitachi orange(slightly brighter),so getting hold of paint is no problem.Infact,if a machine is on our fleet,i can get any paint for it if i was driving it i suppose
My Joal jcb 330 is the only 1/35th model i have left.I sold all my others a few years ago,switching to 1/50th scale.But i could`nt part with the 330,as it was the first model i brought.

I still think the JS330 is a good model! haha....i like you converted from 1/35th after getting most of the 1/35th models available....

That conversion of the 330 to the 350 is fairly straight forward but i couldnt figure out an easy way to cut the indent in the counterweight out so i decided to leave that out......So far its been 3 models haha......it was the 330D then id changed it to a JS360LC when J C BALLS bought there machine......and now its the 350.....haha
